A Japanese documentary on Kenichi Sawai. Kenichi Sawai was a student of Wang Xiangzhai, creator of Yi Chuan. Kenichi Sawai eventually created his own version of Yi Quan called Tai Ki Ken.
That's very interesting! I knew that he was the founder of Taikiken and that he was a star pupil of the late Grandmaster Wang Xiang Zhai, but what I didn't know was that he was also a master of Kyokushin Karate. thanks for the info.
i don't think taiki is japanese for taiji, taiji in japanese is taikyoku, taiki sounds more like taiqi or something like that. and it does look like what he's doing is yiquan rather than taijiquan
nope. You're kind of right. Wu Shu = communist incorporation of different martial arts into one system. Hence, in Wu Shu tournaments, it looks like a variety of arts all rolled into one. Type in WUSHU on youtube search. It is different from Kung Fu. Kung Fu = unique fighting system. Mantis Kung Fu, Wing Tsun Kung Fu, Shaolin Kung Fu etc. Kung Fu = Hard training, dedicated discipline, etc etc. There is no direct English translation.
@infiniteanswers Tai Ki Ken is the japanese transliteration of taijiquan, except this tai ki ken means great chi fist, instead of cosmos (grand ultimate) fist.
dude, u r so right, reading his book has saved my life on multiple occasions and greatly enhanced my life on every level, peace...

How can anyone dislike someone that devoted himself to high level martial arts and creating a legacy?
'cause he's being repeatedly slapped upside his head?
ジャイアント吉田さんの練習風景の動画見てみたい
太気拳をしって驚いたのは、極真が澤井さんを尊敬してるのに対して、太気拳が恐ろしく極真を毛嫌いしてる事だった。その割にゃ澤井さんは本部に何度も通って話が長いものだから、館長に「私は居ないと言いなさい」と逃げられたらしい。
道着姿の澤井先生は珍しいですね。会話も聞きたかったです。
Im from Portugal, However if there is any seminar in south of Europe, probably i might consider to go.

It is Yiquan.
youre right. but for traditionalists, we consider our arts kung fu and not wushu which is the bastardization of the traditional arts
大気拳て普段着で練習したり試合するよね
年をとっているわりには、元気だね。
型とかなかったんだね。何か哲学が違うんだ。かなり長時間「立禅」をするんですよね。
極真空手にも大分影響をあたえている。
Correct. Taikyokuken is japanese for taijiquan (taichichuan) and taikiken is japanese for I chuan (founded by Wang Xiangzhai).
nope. You're kind of right.

「身体の中が渦を巻く」「身体が一つの石の様に固まる」
これが出来なくては太気拳と言えないし、これを説明できなくては太気拳を教える資格はない。
Оох! Ну что же так убого то всё! Этот =веник= из Китая, попав в Японию ни чем не стал лучше. Веник о по сути всегда веник. Очень слабо...!

元気なジジイだな
